After Burner: Black Falcon – PSP review
Sega’s air combat comeback is an essay in destruction. Yes, it’s somewhat shallow and, yes, it’s over a bit too quickly, but if you want some old-school charm with the emphasis on multiple explosions splashing orange, red and yellow across your screen then this is hard to beat. We won’t overload you with plot because what narrative there is has a cheesy comic-book flavour: 13 top secret jets have been stolen by members of Black Falcon, a shady terrorist organisation, and it’s your job to retrieve them or shoot them out the sky. This conveniently sets up 24 missions across the globe, from the icy expanses of the Arctic to the blue lagoons and desert islands of lush Micronesia which provide a wonderfully diverse range of environments for your flying pleasure.
